Utility-based power control for interference mitigation in a mixed femtocell-macrocell environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Femtocell networks are about to be deployed for the improvements in the cellular coverage and capacity. However, this deployment is non trivial (mainly) because of the extra interference that they cause to the macrocell users that share the same portion of the spectrum. This paper proposes a non cooperative power control approach for interference mitigation in a mixed femtocell-macrocell environment. We define objective functions that are different for each type of user and we compute the transmission powers that maximize the objective function of each user. Finally, we propose a distributed iterative power control scheme that, starting from any initial power vector, converges to these transmission powers.

Interference Mitigation in Femtocell using Optimized Power Control
The femtocell network is a new technology that uses the advantage of an Internet backbone to enhance the cellular coverage in residential or small business areas. However, due to the expected random deployment of the Femtocell Access Point (FAP), there is a strong probability of interference among the femtocell nodes and between the femtocells and the macrocell nodes. In this chapter, an interf...
متن کاملPrice-based interference management in dense femtocell systems
Femtocell technology has been drawing considerable attention as a cost-effective means of improving cellular coverage and capacity. However, under co-channel deployment, femtocell system in dense environment may incur high uplink interference to existing macrocells and experiences strong inter-cell interference at the same time. To manage the uplink interference to macrocell, as well as the int...

Femtocell networks, consisting of a conventional macro cellular deployment and overlaying femtocells, forming a hierarchical cell structure, constitute an attractive solution to improving the macrocell capacity and coverage. This paper treats the uplink interference problem in orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA)-based femtocell networks with partial cochannel deployment. First...
متن کاملAdaptive Geolocation Based Interference Control for Hierarchical Cellular Networks with Femtocells
This paper presents an adaptive interference control method to mitigate undesirable interference from femtocells to macrocell users in hierarchical cellular networks. Such mechanisms usually require over-the-air signalling for estimation of interference resulting significant bandwidth overhead. The proposed ‘Adaptive Interference Scaling’ (AIS) method uses geolocation information for femtocell ...

Femtocell is one of the promising technologies for improving service quality and data rate of indoor users. Femtocell is short-range, lowcost, and low-power base stations (BS) installed by the consumer indoors. Even though femtocell can provide improved home coverage and capacity for indoor users, it causes interference to macrocell users when femtocell uses the same frequency band of macrocell...
